Wow, they know how to kill you with anticipation. I took my TEAS in January and did well enough, that I should be accepted into the LPN program for this Fall. However, until I have that acceptance letter in my hand, I will hold my breath. The dea...

I am in my lower 40s. I've worked using my body most of my life. I became a CNA a couple of years ago, and haven't been able to do that full time due to back pain. I was hoping that by becoming an LPN, I would be able to use my body less, but I'm b...

I had considered hospice....does anyone know what the wear and tear on the body is in hospice?

Yes! Second guessing everything. Nervous that I will be too busy to "have a life". Nervous I won't be able to find a job....

Would Urgent Care be a tad less strenuous? I had considered it actually, but wasn't sure what the job would entail.

I didn't read through all of the comments, so this may have already been suggested....but have you tried Assisted Living? You're working with people that are in better shape overall. Sure...you will lose patients, but rarely are you working with be...

On the back page, there is a list for "Are there any abnormalities?". Under that list is genitourinary. That is a pelvic exam. =( I have mine scheduled today, but had just had one a little over a year ago. New rules are...if you get an all clear ...

It goes by your grades in each class and the credits for those classes. The MAR packet explains it in detail, but basically an A =4 B=3 C=2...etc. You multiply that by the credit hours. So if you have a class with 3 credit hours, and receive an A ...

Anyone else blown away by the medical paperwork? That's a lot of information they're requiring, and I'm not sure why. I can see the immunization records, even though I supplied those to be in the CNAI & II programs, but why do they need me to h...

Did everything go well?

This is for comic relief. I saw a meme the other day that said, "When I die, I want anyone I did a group project with to lower me into the ground. That way they can let me down one more time" :).

I received my acceptance letter yesterday!!!!

If letters aren't coming until April 15th, but registration is April 13th and 14th, how do we register? On the other thread, someone said they just stick you in a class? I hope not, I have a job and need to be able to choose which classes I take. ...

They register for you? How do you know when your classes are as far as days and times? They have several different options, do they just stick you in one???

Well, looking at the registration dates, I hope it comes before April 15th too. Registration is April 13th and 14th.

Still no letter here. I wonder what's taking so long?

What other board? I'd love to check it out! =)

I just checked, and I'm showing the Practical Nursing Degree program on mine as well!!!! I was looking on here, and last year, they had their letters by March 20th. Good luck everybody!

I have 108 points. Last year, they accepted points ranging from 91-117, so I should be fine. But I'm one of those that worries that this year will be substantially more competitive. Lol

I've felt this way as a CNA. It's a daunting thing...to take care of people that are sick. It's possible that Long term care just isn't your thing. That doesn't mean that you're not LPN material. Just focus on what areas you love, and take that p...

What ended up happening?

There's no such thing as "second best" when you have a degree. =)

It depends on how low you are on the list. I've heard that they actually go through the lists rather quickly, because people drop out, or don't sign up in time. Don't be upset just yet. =)

I just accepted a job at the hospital (dream CNAII job), but I start school in August. I would like to keep a spot at the hospital while I'm going to school, but I'm not sure if I can juggle it all. I have to study in order to make good grades, alt...

Have you considered just working in a doctor's office? They hire ADNs often. You could also consider Hospice, but you'd better LOVE what you do. If it's the schedule that's bothering you, that can be worked around. If it's caring for patients and...
